The weather yesterday was quite normal for this time of year.

Where you are, perhaps, but it's been significantly warmer than usual for the last week or so here in the south of England. Apparently, we should be in for a rather nicer summer than we've had for the last two.

So will the universe explode tomorrow or in 2012?

I rather doubt it

How many GIMPSters does it take to replace a heatsink?

Zero or one under normal circumstances

Can replacing a heatsink be done "live" without losing cycles by turning the computer off?

It depends. I've performed live heatsink replacements before now, though not recently. Back in the good old days cpus were much more robust than they tend to be today. I have replaced heatsink fans on a live system, both cpu fans and chipset fans.

Will Mini-Me join me on my holiday to Winnerville?

I give up. Don't post the answer just yet, though, to give others a chance.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Ah, this one I do know: To get to the other side.

Why did the hedgehog cross the road?

Well I don't know since I didn't watch it. That is why I asked, silly.

In my evil lair the temperature is controlled to my liking, I don't get out much these days.

But these are not normal times. We got global warming now.

I once tried it in my laptop, but the case cannot be removed with the power plug or battery connected. So I suppose I should now open it and run it naked 24/7 just in case I need to do some emergency surgery.

Haha, no spoiler here. Now you feel stupid for revealing it don't you?!

You are a smart person.

Erm, to see it's flat-mate?

I would have ack, except that, they didn't solve it, I could have done the same as they if I hadn't been AFT. This has been such a big fest of duff (not to be confused with Festivus), one could hardly find a kernal of corn.

How about them Rockets?

Jowett Walk just outside Cats.

OTOH, he may well have been in sarcastic mode.

He referred to quiz machines in pubs as "cash points".
He routinely played them till he won the £10, then went on to
a different pub. He claims to have garnered £3000 (tax free)
in a year this way.

You might well say "Get a Life"

Will these be putting men on the moon in 2020?

Oh, wait, you put a capital "R", is that something different?

After 75 years, they're still kicking up a storm.

(But I think their name has two "t"s.)
